Wow! what a family - see previous post by businessgypsy from Wiki - amazing talent. On the album this great track is called "Dead Already". His latest movie was the new James Bond - "Skyfall", all available on Spotify. {#Notworthy}

Just clicked on to see if this WAS from the movie...thought I'd heard it before.

AB is easily in my top 5 all-time flicks..

I'll second that sigh. It was a fine movie, very funny in parts, and a bucket of cold water over every menopausal middle-aged man's lustful fantasies about young women. Maybe more middle-aged men should watch it so that they grow up instead of trying vainly and sadly (both meanings of that word) to recapture lost youth by riding fast motorbikes and chatting up 20-year-olds.


Did you forget about the middle-aged woman banging the Realty King?

The movie was a critique about many different parts of society. Interesting how that one stuck in your craw.

The family business. From Wikipaedia:

Alfred Newman was the head of a family of major Hollywood film composers:

His brother Lionel Newman scored three dozen films and several TV series, adapting and conducting scores for hundreds of other films.
His brother Emil Newman scored over 80 films.
His son David Newman has scored nearly 100 films, including Hoffa, Galaxy Quest, The Nutty Professor, The War of the Roses, and Ice Age.
His son Thomas Newman has scored over 75 films, including Finding Nemo, The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption, Fried Green Tomatoes, Road to Perdition, American Beauty, and WALL-E, and has received ten Academy Award nominations.
His daughter Maria Newman is an eminent musician and composer.
His nephew Randy Newman is a two-time Academy Award winner noted not only for his film work but also for a series of popular albums as a singer/songwriter.
His grandnephew Joey Newman has scored many TV series, films, and video games

Doesn't he look like that country singer named Scotty on "American Idol"? (I think I just did permanent damage to a couple of synapses in my brain.)

Dude can write music, and no electric guitars, either.

Had to fetch this from IMDB, as Lester walks in on his wife Carolyn and Buddy, the Real Estate King, in bed:

Carolyn Burnham : Uh, Buddy, this is my...
Lester Burnham : Her husband. We've met before, but something tells me you're going to remember me this time.
